>(L) Lumberjack felling a tree using an electric saw.

You can literally see the pull-start cord on the chain saw in the photo. I'm kind of doubting anyone is making a hybrid gas/electric chain saw (but will be happy to be corrected). Why are either of those two images even included in the article?

All of the images in the article that are not of the vandalism signs are, "representative images" that they pulled from Getty Images. They have zero content because they have nothing to do with the article.
